How about the oldest family owned jewelry store?  It is now being run by the 7th-generation of the founding family (Delaware County).  How about the smallest bookstore in Upstate New York (Otsego County).  It is a tiny store, in a tiny village, but has a large history.  Wait till you read what happened in this store!  Wow....

The heaviest snowfall might surprise you, and the oldest school district in New York will definitely surprise you!  One of my favorites is the oldest Ford car dealership in Upstate New York. (Wyoming County)  It has been selling Ford's continually since 1911.  Let me do the math for you; that is just 3 years after Henry Ford started selling his Ford Model T car!  Amazing.
